ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Authorities say an armed man spotted at a North Carolina airport parking lot just after Air Force One departed can get out of jail if he posts bond.

Joseph Sean McVey has been held since Sunday on a misdemeanor charge of going armed in terror of the public. A judge said Monday that the Ohio man was being held at the request of federal authorities. A Secret Service spokesman says that agency is not involved.

Asheville airport public safety chief Jeff Augram says local authorities wanted McVey held until 6 p.m. Monday and listed the Secret Service on court papers because the agency was on the scene. Augram also says McVey had formulas to help shooters fire rifles outfitted with scopes, but did not have a rifle with him.
